Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard Chapter 22: A long day (9)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Ryan looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction. He defended the 5km wall with 5,000 men. It should be very good to have the current results. He secretly estimated the time in his heart. Not far away, his military camp was already brightly lit. The footsteps of the soldiers running at full strength were getting closer and closer. As long as they persisted for a few minutes, they should be able to beat these damned guys back.
At this moment, a jet-black feather arrow shot from outside the Thor Fortress wall facing Ryan. Ryan patronized to check the enemy's situation. He did not notice the sneak attack and was shot by the feather arrow without any suspense. With the passing of the jet black feather arrow, Ryan's last mirror image shattered. Ryan was shocked. He quickly looked along the place where the feather arrow shot with his eyes, but didn't find who actually shot it, so he could only estimate the approximate location, and chanted a fireball spell.
However, Ryan's spell has not yet been completed, and another jet of black feather shot across the dark night sky and shot Ryan silently. The black arrow shaft was completely integrated in the dark night. Only when the arrow made a sound when it broke through the air, it attracted Ryan's attention.
At this critical moment, a thick stone skin appeared on Ryan's body. It was his instinctive protective magic, and this stone skin technique also saved Ryan's life. The black feather arrow hit the stone skin of Ryan fiercely. With the impact point as the center, the entire stone skin was filled with a large crack in an instant, and Ryan's chest hurt, and his body staggered backwards. He retreated quickly and fell to the ground all at once.
Lane was lying on the cold ground, with severe pain in his chest. He didn't know how much he hurt, but Ryan resisted the pain and got up desperately. Alan mostly knelt next to Ryan, held Ryan’s hand, and then tapped Ryan’s chest with his hand, whispering: "Fortunately, that arrow did not go in!"
Ryan gritted his teeth in pain at this moment, almost two words popped out from between his teeth: "Morale!" Allendo immediately understood, he helped Ryan stand up and shouted loudly: "Ryan The magician is okay, kill these despicable guys!"
The human soldiers and mercenaries saw the feather arrow shoot Ryan to the ground. Many people thought Ryan was attacked by the orcs and was killed on the spot, but Ryan soon stood up again with the help of his companions. And taking a closer look, Ryan's chest, which should have been shot through, had no blood stains.
Ryan knew that there must be no signs of weakness at this time. He clenched his teeth tightly, resisted the sharp pain in his chest, and recited the spell of fireball. I have to admit that after the chest was wounded, the severe pain did affect Ryan's spellcasting. For ten seconds, Ryan completed this fireball technique that usually only takes 2 or 3 seconds to complete.
"Boom!" Another wooden ladder was blasted off by Ryan's fireball technique, and the spreading magic flame engulfed several orcs carrying the wooden ladder. And this magic once again boosted the morale of the human defenders, the magician is fine, he is still supporting us, is there anything more exciting than this?
Originally, the 5,000 troops of humans could not fully take care of the entire line of defense in defense. Fortunately, with the magical support of Ryan, the morale can be maximized, let everyone fight the enemy bravely, and even some humans around Ryan have been selected. Support other weak places. But after Len was attacked by orc archers, the already unstable defense line of mankind showed signs of collapse immediately. Orcs had already climbed onto the wall in many places and started hand-to-hand combat.
Unexpectedly, Ryan was not injured in this sneak attack, which definitely hit the orc warriors severely and greatly inspired the human defenders. Elendo asked Xiaobai to guard Ryan's side, and he put on the "sharp claws" and screamed at the orc warriors who had climbed up.
Ellendor hasn't transformed, but his speed in his human form is also surprising. The sharp steel claws fended off the weapon that the orc was waving, and then pierced the vital point of the orc, bringing up a smear of blood. Before the orc fell, Allendo had quickly left and rushed to the next enemy. When the second enemy was killed by Ellendor, the previous orc corpse fell straight to the ground. Ryan also released magic missiles to assist Elendo from time to time. After all, the fangs between the enemy and us on the city wall were intertwined. It was really difficult to accurately calculate and grasp the power of fireball. Besides, the magical power of Ryan's own "Missile Shot" cannot be underestimated, as it can kill several people at the same time.
With the efforts of Ryan and Elendor, the human defenders near them showed great power and drove all the orc soldiers who had attacked the city wall. But at this moment, more orc soldiers have climbed up elsewhere. Seeing that the situation is critical, Ryan covered his chest with one hand, and muttered to Ellendor: "One person on one side!"
Without waiting for Alan to answer, everyone heard footsteps louder than before. The human pikemen and sword and shield soldiers surged up the wall, and a majestic voice shouted: "Go on, young man. Guys, get rid of these green-skinned bastards!"
The neatly aligned spearmen and sword and shield fighters formed an attack formation very tacitly. They were in groups of 12. The first two rows were six sword and shield soldiers holding up their shields, and the second two rows were armed with spears. warrior.
The sword and shield warriors raised their shields to form a shield wall, and slowly forced them towards the climbing orcs. Those orcs picked up their axes and slashed at them, but they could only hit the shield. And the spear warrior behind the sword and shield warrior can stab the spear in his hand forcefully, giving the orc a heartbreak.
The huge advantage of human reinforcements in number quickly cleared the walls of the city, and suppressed the orcs who attacked them back under the walls. When nearly 30,000 human soldiers stood on the edge of the city wall, the entire line of defense became solid. Coupled with the 10,000 archers that followed, and the rain of arrows overwhelming, mankind had already controlled the situation.
When the last orc was shot down to the ground by a dozen feather arrows, this night attack by the orc was a complete failure. I have to say that the orcs chose a very good time. If they were a little earlier, it would be difficult to sneak in so close. After all, they would have to wait until the sun went down before they could set off, and they had to be careful along the way. The arrow forest and corpses on the ground were human. Detection will also restrict their speed. Some time later, which is usually the worst midnight defense, at that time it was the most guarded period of time for the guards of Thor Fortress.
But anyway, the plan of the orcs failed. The 5000 warriors of the human night watch unexpectedly persisted until the arrival of the brigade reinforcements. This was unexpected to both sides. General Clark quickly learned the details and realized that the biggest hero tonight is the young magician in front of him.
"Are you the mercenary who went deep into the Beast's Blood Fort?" As a frontline commander, of course General Clark knew a lot of things.
"Hehe, yes, I did it with my friend." Ryan replied, rubbing his chest lightly.
When General Clark saw this, he asked concerned: "What's wrong with your chest? Is it hurt. Would you like to find someone to treat it?"
Without waiting for Ryan’s answer, a mercenary next to him took the black feather arrow and said, “Hey, General. Ryan just got an arrow in the battle, but it’s amazing. He has something to do. Nothing!"
"Huh?" General Clark was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at the feather arrow with the thickness of the thumb in the mercenary's hand, and then at Ryan. The latter is only wearing ordinary linen clothes, it is absolutely impossible to wear any armor with strong defense power, how can he be able to defend against that kind of feather arrow, can it be said that this is the power of a magician?
"Report to the general!" A small team leader hurried to the front of General Clark, and said loudly, "The results have been calculated. Our army killed 1,733 people, seriously injured 676 people, and slightly injured 1,810 people. The orcs attacked about the number of troops. 5000 people, because the sky is too dark, the specific data may not be available until dawn."
General Clark was silent. This night watch force is basically crippled, but they can withstand a similar number of orcs. Perhaps they can discuss with General Keenster to make this force independent. If you become an army, you may be able to train another elite after supplementing and training your soldiers.
Although General Clark knew that this improvised force was able to block the attacks of the orcs because of Ryan, as a general commanding tens of thousands of troops, General Clark thought it might be in a few people, In the battle of more than a dozen people, the magic of the magician can occupy a certain advantage, but in the fight of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers, what use can a small magician play? Will he still release the forbidden curse? If the outcome of the battle depends entirely on the magician, what should they do as soldiers.
However, some superficial things are still to be done. General Clark said to Ryan: "In order to commend your achievements, you can make your own requirements. As long as I can, I can satisfy you."
Ryan almost immediately began to answer: "My friend and I requested to join the front line army and do our best to defend against the attacks of the orcs."
General Clark didn't expect Ryan to make this request. He thought it was a request for money or some power at most. "This..." General Clark hesitated. After careful weighing, he finally made up his mind. There are only a few people anyway. In this situation, agreeing to Ryan's request is more appropriate than rejecting it.
"Okay. Ryan, you and your friends will go and have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, you will be my soldiers."
